Library workshop and New Voices competition!

This autumn Mills & Boon are launching a very exciting competition for aspiring writers! They’re looking for new talent, and have decided to launch an ‘X-Factor’ type competition to find it. The winner will have their entry published and will win an M&B editor for a whole year!

Stage one – contestants upload the first chapter of their M&B novel. Everyone will be able to read them and comment on them.

Stage two – the editors whittle the entrants down to 10 finalists.

Stage three – YOU vote for which ones go through to the next round!

Stage Four – The finalists will write a ‘pivotal moment’ from their novel, then YOU get to vote for the winner!

If you email me through my website (www.fionaharper.com - I'm wary of spelling the email address out here because of spammers), I'll send you a copy of the notes. My laptop died this week, and just having my scribblings for the talk was a stretch, but I've not cleaned them up and they are ready for distribution.
